A copy of the handbook is available on the District website at www.etiwanda.org and also in the office of your child’s school. Parents and guardians are our most important partners for student success working alongside teachers, administrators and support staff. I encourage you to be actively engaged in your child’s education this year by monitoring your child’s homework completion, reading, engaging in physical activity with your child, joining the school parent teacher association or organization, attending parent conferences and parent education opportunities, and volunteering at school and classroom events. Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s school for more information about ways to get involved. Have a great year! Shawn Judson, Ed.D. Superintendent 1 EMERGENCY BULLETIN Important Information – Please retain ETIWANDA SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOOL SCHEDULE DISRUPTION NATURAL OR OTHER EMERGENCY/DISASTER (FIRE, FOG, WIND, FLOODING, AND OTHER) MERGENCY NFORMATION UMBER MERGENCY NFORMATION EBSITE E I N E I W (909) 899-2451 www.etiwanda.org GENERAL Natural emergencies may arise each school year. Parents and employees can receive current information related to emergency conditions at the phone number and website listed above. It is the intent of this bulletin to give individuals some idea as to the course of action the district will take when these emergencies occur and the resulting action that is recommended. The district becomes responsible for the supervision of children once they have been dropped off at school by parents. Parents are responsible for their children prior to these times and in the event that schools are closed prior to the child's arrival time. During inclement conditions parents should ascertain if schools are open prior to dropping students off at school (see school closure). Once at school, students will be supervised by district personnel until the normal dismissal time. FIRE If a fire occurs which endangers a school, students of that school will be evacuated to another school. Parents and employees will be notified of the evacuation in a timely manner. Students will remain at the evacuated school site for the duration of the normal school day or until released to a parent/guardian or someone authorized on the student release form. If fire officials close an area of the district to traffic while school is in session, students will remain on campus until a parent/guardian can safely travel to the site to pick up their child. FOG/WIND Dense fog and severe wind conditions occur every year in this area. Please note: The district will not close school during such periods unless road closures and/or imminent dangerous conditions exist in the proximity of school. FLOODING The schools in this district are constructed on sites which are not normally subject to flooding. SCHOOL CLOSURE When schools are closed because of emergency conditions, please dial 899-2451, press 1, and select the option for the school in question. The district website www.etiwanda.org is also updated with information regarding emergency conditions and school closures. If possible, information related to school closing will be referred for dissemination over local television and radio stations, including but not limited to, KFI-640 AM, KFRG-95.1 FM, KGGI-99.1 FM, and KOLA 99.9 FM. If you have any questions concerning this bulletin, please contact the school principal. 2 Shawn Judson, Ed.D.

Effective campus safety and security efforts begin with providing schools an opportunity to practice emergency response procedures. To accomplish this goal, throughout the school year, staff and students will participate in various emergency preparedness drills. Practice drills will include but are not limited to fire, bus evacuation, earthquake, lockdown, and intruder/active shooter. The goal of training exercises is to improve our skills to protect students, save lives, and reduce injuries. In an effort to understand our options and become proficient in our roles and responsibilities, certain drills may include evacuation procedures for students and staff. Please know, when the district office or a school site is practicing a drill, the following measures may be enacted:
